    Oh hurrah! It's alright to like AC/DC again, metal is back and there's no trace of irony. No, sorry. This album is very poor. Gimmicky RAWK that will sound very, very tired in no time.

    If the Datsuns' retro sound is currently getting them Strokes/Stripes levels of hype, their blow-the-doors-off passion should allow them to leave their peers in the dust.

    Watching this museum piece come to life in a sweaty dive might make for an amusing night out. But on disc, why settle for a third-generation Xerox when the original documents still exist?

    It helps that these 10 primitive songs are excellent, and that The Datsuns attack them with such vehemently anti-ironic gusto. [Nov 2002, p.118]
